The most dangerous of all God’s gifts is our ability to say no to him. Freewill gave Eve the power to choose what she thought would be good for her and allowed Adam to prefer his relationship with his wife above his relationship with God.
We are fully capable of evil, but we need not worry when we depend on Christ, who makes us fully capable of all that is good.
In all situations, no matter how little or how much I have, I must depend on Christ for my strength and guidance.
— Philippians 4:13
